JHarotm anb HUiite Seniors? Seniors ? Ah yes, now we’re Seniors! The far distant goal has l»een won; The heart aches, the tears, the joys and the fears, Are forgotten, one by one. Seniors ? Ah yes, now we’re Seniors! Gone are the doubts of the past, Our talents have here l een perfected. We’ll test out their worth at last. Seniors ? Ah yes. now we’re Seniors! The future is gloriously ours With eagerness we'll look to tomorrow To test those untried powers. Seniors? Ah yes. now we’re Seniors! The world looks to us with susi ense. Envying our youth and exhul erance. Doubting our judgment and sense. Seniors ? Ah yes, now we’re Seniors! Seniors, though not as of old. Where once was youth and exuberance ’Tis age standing now. we’re told. Seniors? Ah yes. now we’re Seniors! Seniors of life’s own school; Seniors, but now looking backward. Have we made the most of our tools? Evangeline Whalen '27 17
